ABSTRACT
The study was done with an objective to achieve a potential sustained and controlled release oral drug delivery system of a antiasthmatic drug, doxophylline which having
shorter half life. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose was used for gel forming agent. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) study show that drug and other excipints are
compatible with each other. The tablets were evaluated for physical characteristic like hardness, weight variation, fraibilty, and thickness. It was found that drug release rate
increased with the amount of osmogent because of the increased water uptake and hence increased driving force for drug release. Accelerated stability study was also performed
for three months indicated that optimized formulation was stable. Use of HPMC as the total matrix material significantly influenced the release rate of the drug. Addition of
different diluents like magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose were used for improving flow ability and compressibility. Based on dissolution studies all the
formulations showed sustained release of drugs from the formulations.
